The comment should be fixed, then. It's not important that we identify the newsreader; it's important that we identify the id-generation algorithm. Then if other newsreaders use the same algorithm and the safe suffix, that's ok. And if future versions of Gnus use a different algorithm, they should use a different suffix. Granted, ".fsf" isn't a very intuitive identifier of Gnus's current algorithm, but it's established enough that a change isn't likely to help. paul
